The city of Olbia welcomes you just a few minutes’ drive from the airport with all its varied historical and natural heritage.
Starting with the sea, one of the main reasons travelers come to Sardinia. By car, you can easily reach Olbia’s most beautiful beaches, including Pittulongu, Punta Pedrosa, Porto Istana, and Le Saline. But that’s not all: Olbia is located within the Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area, a natural jewel that includes the islands of Tavolara, Molara, and Molarotto. Just a few kilometers away, you can also reach other popular destinations such as Porto San Paolo, Porto Rotondo, San Teodoro, and all the most famous towns on the Costa Smeralda, including Porto Cervo.
Speaking of archaeology, human presence in this area has been attested since ancient times, and traces of it can be found in the city and its surroundings in the remains of the ancient Punic walls or in archaeological sites such as the Riu Mulinu nuraghe, the Nuragic Sacred Well of Sa Testa, and the Giants’ Tomb of Su Monte de S’Abe.
If you love hiking, you can’t miss a visit to Pedres Castle: dating back to the time of the Giudicato of Gallura, it stands on a hilltop offering a splendid view. For a picnic or a moment of refreshment, we recommend Fausto Noce Park, the largest urban park on the island, with its 18 hectares of greenery providing relief even on the hottest summer days. Also in the city are the Romanesque Basilica of San Simplicio and the Church of San Paolo.
Here are the things not to miss if you find yourself in Olbia:

Tavolara Island

Gallura cuisine originated among farmers and shepherds, and for this reason its flavors are expressed primarily in meat-based dishes.
If you visit Gallura, don’t miss the typical suppa cuata (hidden soup): a simple yet delicious dish made with stale bread soaked in sheep’s milk broth and topped with pecorino cheese. Also unique are the Gallura ricotta ravioli, stuffed with ricotta in a sweet version but served as a first course and topped with tomato sauce. Hard to find but incredibly delicious is the massa frissa, a mixture of cream and durum wheat semolina, served as a pasta sauce or on its own.
But Olbia is also a seaside city and therefore offers the best seafood from its coast every day: its famous mussels, now farmed throughout the Gulf, are also highly sought-after, as are the bottarga, various shellfish, and all the fresh fish that arrives directly from the boats to the restaurant tables.
Here’s where you can enjoy the best seafood and Gallura cuisine if you’re in Olbia:
